After months of teasing, Smith finally announced the official release of the long-awaited, dancehall-infused “Come Over” featuring Jamaican artist Popcaan on September 28, 2020.

Smith first teased the collaboration on February 21, 2020, posting a video to her Instagram with a snippet of the song playing in the background. Popcaan later confirmed the collaboration on April 7 through a video posted to his Instagram.

On May 1, Smith played a portion of the song on an Instagram live, confirming that it was the next track she plans on dropping. She also revealed that she chose to hold back on the song’s release due to the COVID-19 stay-at-home order, saying:

This is why I’m not putting it out right now, because I’m not trying to give any wrong messages. No, do not come and visit your friends!
